Joe Biden reveals Fisker's future plans: sedan, coupe and crossover in the works

Henrik Fisker talks about the future with Fox News - Click above to watch the video after the break

Earlier this month, Fox news was ripping Fisker Automotive apart and Fisker fought back. Yesterday, as the start-up automaker announced it will buy an old GM plant in Delaware, everyone was all smiles when Fox reporter Gary Gastelu interviewed CEO Henrik Fisker about the plant and confirming something that Vice President Joe Biden said during his remarks at the factory.

Fisker confirmed that at least three derivatives using the Project Nina powertrain platform – Biden mentioned sedans, coupes and crossovers – will be built at the plant. "He definitely told what our product plans are, so I guess we need to live up to it," Fisker said. Fisker also confirmed that the first Project Nina car will be a sexy sports sedan, somewhat like the Karma but smaller and less expensive. Biden, who has seen the project plans for the Nina sedan, said "it looks like a four-door Ferrari, I can't believe it's only going to be $40,000." Watch the video after the jump.

Fox News adopts the extreme right wing views of the owner Rubert Murdoch.

Which is ok by me. If you have a lot of money and have cornered a segment of the English media. You can splash your opinions all over the world 24 hours a day. Free speech and weak monopoly laws give you that right.

What I object to is the small minded, ignorant, negative, bitchiness of the content.

I don't see anyone criticising Rupert Murdoch in the media. Because he's a fricking sneaky, despot, Nazi.

What's weirder is that these foreign companies not only are profitable at lesser volumes, but don't they face import duties as well? At least if the car is not assembled in part in the US. Does anybody know?

Not to mention Richard, that the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program was funded by the previous administration (possibly as another mean to throw money at hydrogen). The current administration is simply handing out the checks.

Thanks Sean F, Thats the general direction I was thinking, although not stated, I figured smartacus would enlighten us as to how he got too that conclusion. Then again I'm not surprised at his ramblings, seeing that he sticks up for Fox News, misinformation is what they preach.

Its not a bailout, Its a for profit loan at reasonably low risk. Its better than what Fisker could get in the market so you could call it protectionism if you really want, but nothing like the bank bailout.
